the highland bagpipe.
Miirvrlon* Influence Over Hie Sol-
1 di«*r» of Motlaml.
[London Standard.]
Th , OI1 iy musical instrument that can
he siiidto be distinctively national is
Highland bagpipe. Violin, flute,
1 otli^r instruments are common to
* anv nations, but the bagpipe is pe
ar 11 Scotland, and it it does uot
’ vv occupy the position it once did it
to be found in no o'hcr country.
" In the days when the notorious Kob
i'„v committed bis depredations, when
Vi-h Ian Vhors lived securely m
their Highland fastnesses, aud kept up
ii„ ir dicnilied social positions—in the
ti, ring* tones which Sir Walter Scott
r...,'inimitably depicted—the bagpipe-
w as one of the important person-
in the chieftain's "tail" or retinue,
',1 these may considered as the
i'lilmv Jays of'the instrument. Within
the regioli more correctly known as the
Highlands its shrill note was the first
Hind that fell on the ears of infancy;
Jl i-.harmed the rude t'ale lonians in times
,,f jov and comforted them ill scenes of
mourning; it animated their heroes in
I,attic and welcomed them back from
their conflicts; and wherever their chief
uetit it accompanied them, even to tlio
^The'efTect. which this wild instrument
has on the Highland soldiers is marvel-
„!is. Above the rattle of musketry and
the turmoil and noise of the battle field
the inspiring notes of the pibroch have
-nokeii encouragement to the Highland
er, ami led them bravely forward. At
the battlo of Quebec when the troops
were retreating in disorder, and when
the conilict had a discouraging aspect,
the general complaint about the bad
conduct of Fraser's corps. ".Sir,” said
till' officer, "you did very wrong in for
bidding the pipers to play. Nothing in
spirits the Highlanders so much, hvun
now they would be of some use.” "Let
them blow in God’s name, then,” said
the general. The order being given, the
]ii|„-is started an old and well known
air: the Highlanders rallied together,
and bravely returned to the charge.
Many such instances of the remarkable j
efleet of this particular musical instru
ment might be adduced. | ]

instruments of the Celtic race. The pipe
mentioned in ancient history was simply
what is known as the shepherd s reed.
After a time a bug was added, and sub-
.>Ci|iiently the drones or burdens. There
are now four forms of the modern bag
pipe in this country—the great High
land bagpipe, which is blown by the
player, the drones being placed over the
shoulders: the Lowland bagpipe, which
is provided with a bellows for supplying
the wind: the Northumberland bagpipe,
which is smaller and sweeter than thfi
former two, and the Irish bagpipe,
which is a much more complicated in
strument than the others.

The law is supposed to be pretty hard
work, but it does not seem to make men
look or feel old. To look at the su
preme court judges as they walk up and
down the avenue to and from the court
room on these pleasant winter days,
• hatting cheerily as they go. one would
not think that the aggregate ages of the
nine men is 570 years, or an average of
«»:{ years. Nor would he think that
there is one among them considerably
over 70 years of age and three more
now in their 70th year.

period each the age of 70, at which age
they may retire if they have served ten
>ears, as each of them has done. It
